Pros
The team was amazing, delightful and the most fun I've ever had working at a company and it was job that paid my bills. And that's the only reason why Culture & Values gets 5 stars. This is a sister company to another company that had just as amazing team members.
Cons
The CEO and CTO are both very controlling individuals who like to micromanage everyone to the T. Their expectations of their employees are to come in at 9 and leave at never. They have zero genuine appreciation and only see us as just cogs in a machine that are expendable. Which severely affects the company morale. The CTO is a textbook sociopath who uses shallow interests to try to make connections with various team members. Also has Zero focus on actual product due to the absurd amount of sister companies they open next to each other. They treat the staff like children, and offer no transparency to their employees and are not above being petty and dismissive. There is severe acts of favoritism and those who are favored will get away with things more than those who are not. They exploit bootcamp grads desperate for work with very low pay and high expectations and rushed deadlines. They also hire interns with the facade of an internship, but really the interns are doing work for the company, literally building the company for free and at most minimum wage. The CTO codes but should not be coding at all, instead should be delegating tasks instead of having people fix his code. When team members leave, they childishly wonder why team members leave and when it's explained to them why people are leaving multiple times, they make some changes but the core problem never changes. The CEO is extremely inappropriate and unprofessional and has many times made comments at many times creating mass discomfort around the company. He is also not above threatening to fire his team members for speaking their minds. The CTO and CEO both need to be replaced. Both are very power driven/power hungry and controlling individuals who cannot and should not run a company.
